Coming Soon!Located in the old big store of the town, the restaurant was born.La Tienda Grande was simmered as a tribute to the women who made me a cook, to my mother, my 4 grandmothers, aunts, friends and those ladies I have met in life and have inspired me; I will base the menu on the dishes that I have tried and that are still in my memory, they will be interpreted in my own way; my team and I will make creative Mexican cuisine. And to all this, who am I?I'm a cook and that´s all.When an idea is born, the rest of the things go to the background, I don't want to be the protagonist of something that has essence on its own.Chef Salvador Carrillo, Pata Salada Nominated for Breakthrough Chef by Food and Travel Readers Awards 2022Best Chef of Mediterranean cuisine in 2020 in the United Arab Emirates.

Outstanding. Gorgeous ambience on arrival is carried throughout; both in the decor and experience itself. Pretty and well-thought design. Beautiful attention to details. Menu covers are lovely from how they feel in the hand to how they read. Service is attentive, thoughtful. Never intrusive but responsive and helpful. Food was amazing in taste and presentation. We felt so totally welcomed and well cared for in this absolutely amazing restaurant. We've been impressed by every place we have eaten in Bucerias, but the level of service, beautiful, delicious, and well-plated food at La Casa was outstanding. If you want to have an experience? Highly, highly recommend!

This was not just a meal, but a lovely experience! We were here to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from college & it was perfect from start to finish. Impecable service , personal touches, quiet ambiance. The hotel casa Kimberly is filled with Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton memorabilia: pics, movie posters etc not kitchey but conservative and adds to the ambience. This is a perfect restaurant for celebration, or romantic atmosphere. The architecture and authentic Mexican tiles are picturesque. Will definitely recommend to friends and come again for a special occasion.

The food at this restaurant is not to be missed. If you are a fan of La Tienda Grande in Ixtpapa you will enjoy this menu as it was created by the same chef. They are still working on training their team, so be patient with them. If you are looking for unique food in Nuevo Vallarta please check out La Lupee. In our group, we ordered ribs, pear and blue cheese tortellini, salmon, carbonara pasta, calamari, house salad, humous and carpaccio. Everything was amazing!
